Macedonia: Politics: wave of violence by ethnic Albanian rebels

Macedonia: Politics: wave of violence by ethnic Albanian rebels

Macedonia: Politics: wave of violence by ethnic Albanian rebels

Albanian/Nat
xfa
Attacks by ethnic Albanian insurgents in both Macedonia and southern Serbia have raised fears of a new Balkan conflict.
The unrest around Kosovo's borders has also raised concern about the stability of Macedonia, an impoverished, landlocked country of 2 million people, 25 percent of them ethnic Albanians.
In response to the wave of violence by ethnic Albanian rebels in Macedonia and along her borders, the BulgarianPrime Minister met with the President of the Democratic Party of Albanians on Friday.
The Democratic Party of Albanians forms part of Macedonia's coalition government.
The meeting has led to the Bulgarian parliament appealing to the international community to prevent the destabilisation of Macedonia.
The request came as the Bulgarian prime minister, Ivan Kostov, continued talks with the Macedonian leadership in Skopje.
On Thursday, Bulgaria began shipping military supplies to Macedonia, believed to contain mainly artillery spare parts and demining equipment.
Correspondents say events in Macedonia are acutely felt in Bulgaria, with the two countries sharing strong cultural and linguistic links.
The attacks have prompted Macedonia to close its border with Kosovo, cutting off the main supply route for the province's 2 million people.
Meanwhile, heavy detonations echoed along the boundary with Kosovo on Friday, as a fresh wave of fighting between ethnic Albanian rebels and Serb police engulfed the region.
A Serb policeman was killed and three were wounded.
The fighting was the heaviest in weeks.
It came amid NATO-mediated efforts at peace talks and a day after NATO decided to allow the Yugoslav army to return to the southern part of the so-called ground safety zone near the border with Macedonia.
Serb security forces were banned from entering the buffer by a peace agreement which ended NATO's 1999 air war against Yugoslavia.
The decision to allow them back in is a sign of support to Yugoslavia's pro-democracy authorities and an attempt to cut the rebel supply routes.
SOUNDBITE: (Bulgarian)
"I believe this is possible continuation of the border situation. I believe that if the situation continues on the border of Macedonia, Kosovo and the former Yugoslavia, it has potential of developing in parallel with the situation in southern Serbia. I believe that such a problem civil unrest in Macedonia may arise."
SUPERCAPTION: Ivan Kostov, Bulgarian Prime Minister
SOUNDBITE: (Albanian)
"It is important to continue on the democratic path and that we move towards Westernisation and it is very important that we all come together for the democratic project."
SUPERCAPTION: Arben Jhaferi, President of the Democratic Party of Albanians
SOUNDBITE: (Macedonian)
"I am incredibly disappointed. I don't see a way out of the situation. I'm disappointed with the foreign forces KFOR, NATO who are deaf and blind witnesses to the situation on the border region."
SUPERCAPTION: Resident of Skopje
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The last clashes that we can see on the Kosovo-Macedonian border, that's not a solution. See Bosnia and Kosovo, we have had so much pain and we don't want to feel that. Dialogue is the only way to peace in the future."
SUPERCAPTION: Young Albanian man
SOUNDBITE: (Macedonian with English translations) talking about the situation over the border in Kosovo
"The first group, or rather the two that were originally spotted, was involving about seven to 10 persons and carrying arms on all these horses - horses loaded with arms. And the second group involved about 14 to 15 people that were actually accompanying a tractor full of arms".

We’ve just taken an overnight train from Belgrade down to Macedonia, and we’re going to get off in Skopje soon. Well I don’t know how long till we’re there. We should be there about an hour ago. But like usual down here, trains are always a few hours late leaving and arriving. I had a good sleep though. We got a smaller compartment this time. Last time we had sick people in the room. We’ve only got two this time so it’s perfect. I actually slept pretty good. So we left our backpacks back at the hostel, and it’s still pretty early so we’re going to start exploring the city today.
When most backpackers or tourists come to Macedonia, they don’t see Skopje as a final destination. Most of them come...

Both monastery and church were built before the time of the Ottomans and eventually they had to be reduced in size because no other religious building was allowed to be larger than a mosque. The historic stone bridge of Kameni Most spans the river Vardar and unites two city districts and also the Muslim world with that of the Christian Orthodox. The massive two hundred and fourteen metre long stone bridge was built in the late fifteenth century under the rule of Sultan Mehmet the Second. In Ottoman times the bridge was a place of execution where rebels were executed in public. Skopje has become a symbol of fraternity and solidarity. A prospering city at the south-eastern end of the world!

http://www.aswetravel.com/its-in-the-little-things-skopje-macedonia/ Skopje Macedonia. Europe
We’ve just taken an overnight train from Belgrade down to Macedonia, and we’re going to get off in Skopje soon. Well I don’t know how long till we’re there. We should be there about an hour ago. But like usual down here, trains are always a few hours late leaving and arriving. I had a good sleep though. We got a smaller compartment this time. Last time we had sick people in the room. We’ve only got two this time so it’s perfect. I actually slept pretty good. So we left our backpacks back at the hostel, and it’s still pretty early so we’re going to start exploring the city today.
When most backpackers or tourists come to Macedonia, they don’t see Skopje as a final destination. Most of them come here, the first thing they want to do is leave. We haven’t heard that many good reviews about the city as a city, but we decided to stay here. We decided to stay here, explore and see what Skopje has to offer. We’re walking over the stone bridge here, it’s one of the few attractions here in Skopje. And just looking over the bridge, you can see there’s a lot of construction work going on, from a building over there, there’s some sort of fountain down there, and over there. And it seems to me that Skopje’s a bit sick of people coming and leaving straight away, and they seem to be recreating the main city area here by adding new buildings, attractions like this. So it could be nice to come back in six months to see what they actually created here in the center of town.
This is a part of Skopje that we had heard about, Carsija. It’s the old part of town. It’s also one of the best preserved examples of urban Ottoman architecture. There’s also a bazaar around the corner, so we’re going to go and check that out now. This is a really bustling market, and it has been for centuries. This used to be the meeting point where Muslims and Christian people, who used to live in separate parts of the city, came to do their shopping. During the Europe TrainChallenge, it’s been our mission to taste a local dish in every single country. During the last four countries, it’s been very hard to find something which is unique to each country. Yeah, they all seem very influenced by the Turkish cuisine. Here we have a plate of baklava and other Turkish pastries. They’re really good, and they’re all drenched in some sticky syrup. They are sticky. Tastes pretty good though.
This is a really cute part of town. We’re going to check out the fortress now, the Kale Fortress. Seems pretty cool. Like we said before, in Skopje, there are not many tourist attractions, things to go and see. They do have this one thing though, it’s called the Kale Fortress. It’s an incredible fortress on top of a hill overlooking Skopje. And we just tried to get in, and apparently we’re not allowed. This is an amazing site though, people would love to come and see because they found, a few years ago, they found remnants of people living here over 3,000 years before Christ. So it really is a place that would gain a lot of tourists. I find that kind of funny you know, you don’t have that much going for you, everyone knows about it, so the stuff that you do have You close. That’s not exactly good tourism. I really enjoyed the Old Town and the cafés around there. It’s too bad the fortress was closed. But there’s one thing that Skopje can be really proud of, and that is the fact that Mother Theresa was born here, so I think this is an important place to visit. Tomorrow we’re off to Greece, Thessaloniki, so I’ll see you there.

Travel video about destination Macedonia.
Macedonia is a young Balkan republic that is a combination of both Orient and Occident. Skopje is the capital of Macedonia and is located in the Vardar RiverValley. It has a dramatic history that spans many thousands of years and forms the junction of two trading routes in southeast Europe that unite both western and eastern civilisation. The legacy of Ottoman times is omnipresent in Skopje. One of the city’s most well-preserved mosques is that of the Gazi-Isisa-Bey Djamia and in the seventeenth century it is believed that there were up to a hundred and twenty mosques in the city. Ottoman rule began in 1392 and lasted for more than five hundred years. Near the village of Glumovo is the Bogorodica Monastery that was founded in the fourteenth century and is active again today. The mediaeval frescos on the walls and ceilings are well preserved after five centuries. Southwest of Prilep is the ancient city of Stibera that is also known as MacedonianPompeii. It is in a good location on an important road. The last Macedonian king, Perseus, had his military headquarters in Stibera during his struggles with Rome. In the south, just a few kilometres from the Greek border, is Bitola, at the foot of PelisterMountain and on the edge of the fertile Pelagonija Plains. Buildings with Neo-Baroque and Renaissance facades, huge mosques and splendid diplomatic residences indicate the city’s importance. Macedonia is a wild land full of natural splendour and with a long and dramatic history that is well worth more than just a flying visit. Indeed, this visit also features a Galička wedding that is a fine example of colourful tradition and local culture.

'Armed People' On Board Ship Off Corfu - Sky News

A cargo ship believed to be carrying hundreds of migrants near the Greek island of Corfu sent out a distress signal saying armed people were on board on Tuesday, Greek television reported.
Two Greek officials confirmed that a distress signal had been received from the Moldovan-flagged Blue Sky M but did not give further details on the message.
A Greek frigate, a coastguard vessel and a military helicopter were heading to the area, they added.
"We have information that it is carrying suspected migrants. It is sailing off Corfu," a shipping ministry official said.

Macedonia: Politics: wave of violence by ethnic Albanian rebels

Albanian/Nat
xfa
Attacks by ethnic Albanian insurgents in both Macedonia and southern Serbia have raised fears of a new Balkan conflict.
The unrest around Kosovo's borders has also raised concern about the stability of Macedonia, an impoverished, landlocked country of 2 million people, 25 percent of them ethnic Albanians.
In response to the wave of violence by ethnic Albanian rebels in Macedonia and along her borders, the BulgarianPrime Minister met with the President of the Democratic Party of Albanians on Friday.
The Democratic Party of Albanians forms part of Macedonia's coalition government.
The meeting has led to the Bulgarian parliament appealing to the international community to prevent the destabilisation of Macedonia.
The request came as the Bulgarian prime minister, Ivan Kostov, continued talks with the Macedonian leadership in Skopje.
On Thursday, Bulgaria began shipping military supplies to Macedonia, believed to contain mainly artillery spare parts and demining equipment.
Correspondents say events in Macedonia are acutely felt in Bulgaria, with the two countries sharing strong cultural and linguistic links.
The attacks have prompted Macedonia to close its border with Kosovo, cutting off the main supply route for the province's 2 million people.
Meanwhile, heavy detonations echoed along the boundary with Kosovo on Friday, as a fresh wave of fighting between ethnic Albanian rebels and Serb police engulfed the region.
A Serb policeman was killed and three were wounded.
The fighting was the heaviest in weeks.
It came amid NATO-mediated efforts at peace talks and a day after NATO decided to allow the Yugoslav army to return to the southern part of the so-called ground safety zone near the border with Macedonia.
Serb security forces were banned from entering the buffer by a peace agreement which ended NATO's 1999 air war against Yugoslavia.
The decision to allow them back in is a sign of support to Yugoslavia's pro-democracy authorities and an attempt to cut the rebel supply routes.
SOUNDBITE: (Bulgarian)
"I believe this is possible continuation of the border situation. I believe that if the situation continues on the border of Macedonia, Kosovo and the former Yugoslavia, it has potential of developing in parallel with the situation in southern Serbia. I believe that such a problem civil unrest in Macedonia may arise."
SUPERCAPTION: Ivan Kostov, Bulgarian Prime Minister
SOUNDBITE: (Albanian)
"It is important to continue on the democratic path and that we move towards Westernisation and it is very important that we all come together for the democratic project."
SUPERCAPTION: Arben Jhaferi, President of the Democratic Party of Albanians
SOUNDBITE: (Macedonian)
"I am incredibly disappointed. I don't see a way out of the situation. I'm disappointed with the foreign forces KFOR, NATO who are deaf and blind witnesses to the situation on the border region."
SUPERCAPTION: Resident of Skopje
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The last clashes that we can see on the Kosovo-Macedonian border, that's not a solution. See Bosnia and Kosovo, we have had so much pain and we don't want to feel that. Dialogue is the only way to peace in the future."
SUPERCAPTION: Young Albanian man
SOUNDBITE: (Macedonian with English translations) talking about the situation over the border in Kosovo
"The first group, or rather the two that were originally spotted, was involving about seven to 10 persons and carrying arms on all these horses - horses loaded with arms. And the second group involved about 14 to 15 people that were actually accompanying a tractor full of arms".
SUPERCAPTION: Giorgi Trendafilov, Defence Ministry Spokesman

Skopje Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Skopje in Macedonia.
Skopje is the capital of Macedonia and is located in the valley of the Vardar River with a dramatic history that spans many thousands of years. It forms the junction of two trading routes in southeast Europe that unites both western and eastern civilisation. The legacy of Ottoman times is omnipresent in Skopje. One of the city’s most well-preserved mosques is that of the Gazi-Isisa-Bey Djamia. In the seventeenth century it is believed that there were up to a hundred and twenty mosques in Skopje. Between the city’s mosques is the last surviving monastery in the centre of Skopje, Sveti Spas, with a fine church and wooden bell tower. Both monastery and church were built before the time of the Ottomans and eventually they had to be reduced in size because no other religious building was allowed to be larger than a mosque. The historic stone bridge of Kameni Most spans the river Vardar and unites two city districts and also the Muslim world with that of the Christian Orthodox. The massive two hundred and fourteen metre long stone bridge was built in the late fifteenth century under the rule of Sultan Mehmet the Second. In Ottoman times the bridge was a place of execution where rebels were executed in public. Skopje has become a symbol of fraternity and solidarity. A prospering city at the south-eastern end of the world!

It is in a good location on an important road. The last Macedonian king, Perseus, had his military headquarters in Stibera during his struggles with Rome. In the south, just a few kilometres from the Greek border, is Bitola, at the foot of PelisterMountain and on the edge of the fertile Pelagonija Plains. Buildings with Neo-Baroque and Renaissance facades, huge mosques and splendid diplomatic residences indicate the city’s importance. Macedonia is a wild land full of natural splendour and with a long and dramatic history that is well worth more than just a flying visit. Indeed, this visit also features a Galička wedding that is a fine example of colourful tradition and local culture.
